Automotive Paint Thickness Meter PCE CT 30

Automotive meter for non-destructive measurement on steel and non-ferrous metals

The automotive meter PCE-CT 30 measures coatings on steel and non-ferrous metals without damaging the material. The menu and adjustment of new parameters make the PCE-CT 30 automotive meter an indispensable tool for control measurements in production, workshops, and quality control. The ergonomic design of the automotive meter with integrated probe and easy handling allows for quick and simple measurements. It has been built for measuring non-magnetic layers such as lacquers, plastics, chrome, copper, zinc, enamel, etc. on steel and iron, and all insulating layers like lacquers, plastics, enamels, paper, glass, rubber, etc. on copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and anodized aluminum.

The automotive meter is mainly used in the automotive industry. Anyone who has purchased a supposedly accident-free car and later detects significant damage is well aware of this issue. Unless one is an expert in the field, the question that arises is how to detect whether the car has been in an accident or not. The PCE-CT 30 automotive meter simply solves this problem. Select the base (steel or aluminum) and place the automotive meter on the thin and uniform lacquer layer. If there are residues of putty under the lacquer, the layer over the metal will exceed more than one millimeter. The PCE-CT 30 automotive meter has a measurement range of 0 to 3500 µm (3.5 mm). If it detects high thicknesses, it is time to exercise caution when purchasing.

The automotive meter can also be used in any branch of industry where it is necessary to measure layers in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. For example, galvanization. To ensure that the automotive meter indicates the correct value, a calibrator is included in the shipment. Optionally, you can request a calibration that certifies the measurement values. The calibration certificate lists the measurement values as well as the serial number of the automotive meter. The meter receives a test plate that indicates when the next calibration should be performed.
